World of Warcraft news:
Checking in at item level 496, the first tier of raiding gear players will find in Pandaria is set to wrap you up in an all-new look.
Two zones in Pandaria lie beyond the Serpent’s Spine wall, where few Pandaren dare to tread. One of these regions is the terrifying Dread Wastes, the homeland of a sophisticated insectoid race known as the mantid. What makes the mantid so terrifying for the pandaren, and what happens next? To find out, we spoke with Don Adams, Associate Quest Designer.
In the coming months, we're planning an update to Battle.net that will give you more control over your online presence when playing Blizzard games. Soon, World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III players will be able to select "Appear Offline" as one of their Battle.net social-status options (along with Available, Busy, and Away) for those times when they want to wander Azeroth by their lonesome, dominate the galaxy in radio silence, or slay demons in solitude.
Today we take a walk on the wild side, and for the first time since our tour of Pandaria began, we step beyond the Serpent’s Spine wall and into the dangerous – but hauntingly beautiful – hills of the Townlong Steppes. Leading the way is World of Warcraft’s Lead Quest Designer, Dave “Fargo” Kosak.
If you can’t make it to one of the official events around Europe, you can still take part in the launch of Mists of Pandaria by tuning in to the free live stream.

In the words of Wrathion, Pandaria is a land of "mystery, history. . . and opportunity." Kun-Lai Summit features all three! We've been exploring the various locations in Pandaria by talking to the designers behind them.

Avast, mateys! Commoners outfitted as scurvy pirates will appear tomorrow in all the world’s cities bringing rum news: the Dread Captain DeMeza and her crew have landed in Booty Bay and declared this day to be Pirates’ Day!

Along the southern coast of Pandaria stretches an inhospitable jungle known as the Krasarang Wilds. Separated from the idyllic Valley of Four Winds by an enormous natural cliff known as Wind’s Edge, the Wilds play host to a number of adventures. Today we’ll be talking with Zach Owens, Associate Quest Designer, about the Krasarang Wilds and the dark secrets held within.

You’ve explored the sprawling Jade Forest, witnessed the majesty of the Serpent’s Heart, and soaked in the grandeur of the Temple of the Jade Serpent. You’ve met the noble jinyu and the foul-mouthed hozen, and you’ve had your first run-in with the cruel, ogre-like mogu. Now, you stand at the forest’s edge, and you find yourself on the cusp of a grassy, sun-soaked plain: the Valley of the Four Winds.
You’ve probably heard about the benefits of using a Battle.net Authenticator or Battle.net Mobile Authenticator app by now.
